[Trisquel-users] 3D and Free Software on Trisquel?

[marss at gmx.com]

As has been already said, you won't have 3D acceleration with any AMD/ATI or  
Nvidia video cards in fully free system such as Triquel. The Radeon cards,  
although there are free drivers for them, they require non-free firmware for  
to 3D acceleration. I guess the site www.free3d.org just does not take in  
account the firmware need for those "free" card that are listed there.

For now, the only way you can have 3D acceleration in a free system is with  
SOME of the integrated Intel cards.
